Advanced Sessions Plugin

[QUOTE=adipFTW;614822]
Hey mord,
first of all GREAT job with this plugin, ive been lurking in this thread for a while now, but since i read something about dedicated servers with steam, it made me ****** :stuck_out_tongue:

Problem is, i cant really get it to work. I know its most likely not your plugins fault, but im still gonna write down what happened, so maybe you will actually find some time to test it yourself like you planned long ago :wink:
I’m using the from source compiled 4.13 branch of the engine and tried to set up a simple dedicated server with the 3rd person c++ template. It actually went pretty well, except that i cant see the session.

Laptop is hosting, desktop is trying to join, both running steam. Search succeeds but returns no results.

Server log doesnt show any apparent error as far as i can tell:








[2016.10.26-12.25.33:925] 41]LogOnline:Warning: STEAM: Server setting ,SESSIONFLAGS:651 overflows Steam SetGameTags call
[2016.10.26-12.25.33:927] 41]LogOnline:Warning: STEAM: Server setting ,GameName_s:TestServer123 overflows Steam SetGameTags call

For one session flags is overflowing which will kill some of the flags.....The default subsystem still uses overlong strings to designate things so its iffy getting everything into how small of a buffer steam requires. More so since it also passes in your game name as a long series of characters and numbers for some reason.

For two, whats the Find sessions node look like? The plugin can find dedicated servers now afaik, the problem is that without authentication in the engine the players joining aren't fully authed.
